my absolute favorite cm bug. does your scenario have planes in it? i have seen a few pics where after a bomb strike every single story or light building exploded. i got a really cool one i'll try and upload -
Record breaker
russellmz replied to freaky ol'man w/very long wings's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
MO? is that by check? anything by check takes extra long, which is why credit is more popular. -
the demo is coming out the same time as the game.

Do I Buy Combat Mission or Wait For Barbarossa?
russellmz replied to Roxy's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
there a few wymyn around (one even did a game mod for the king tiger) if you like some east front russian action (and some germans, hungarians, romanians, italians, etc) then cmbb is it. if you like the more familiar west front with its us, poles, french, canadian, brits, and germans then cmbo is the one. if either one suits your fancy then if you want a more advanced one get cmbb unless you want to play now. the us postal system is used to deliver so if you are in the continental us you should have the game in a few days to a week. overseas is longer. -
Tactics against a certain kind of enemy needed!
russellmz replied to Schoerner's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Gotta jump in here. If you don't have enough firepower at the VL to persuade ragtag outfits like this to turn and run the other way, units which at this point of the game are easily routed, then you did NOT have control of the flag to begin with. Face it, a few squads would turn this rabble back in a heartbeat. Back in the day, when I was new, I'd bitch about flag rushes. Now I just face the fact that, if I let someone rush it, I didn't control it to begin with. I'd say less than 5% of my games has a flag rush ever been an issue, and I play only QBs.</font> -
Eastern Front Reading Suggestions?
russellmz replied to Mick_Oz's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
not exactly east front entirely but i like "fall of berlin" by anthony read and david fisher lots of little stories about citizens and refugees and soldiers in berlin, the russian drive on berlin, & the bumbling by hitler and his idiot staff in the defense of berlin. -
RESULTS OF THE SO CAL PREVIEW

Boy, are you slow! I had all that figured out a week and a half ago but assumed it was too obvious to merit comment. Michael</font> -
Warrior Code/Myth/Ethic/Mentality etc.

...or it will be a black matter for the king who lead them to it... -
one problem: hard coded stuff like tracers, mortars, berets, and zook tubes are colored forever.

Why I hate Green troops
russellmz replied to History Buff's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
study the holy scriptures handed down by the bfc ones in the cmbb faq: they plan to make lower level units have the "human wave" command where morale stiffens to a point. higher level units will probably use the "assault" command in its place. -
i'm not very well versed in pacific war tactics, but they japanese seemed to do fairly well at the beginning, only to drop in skill steadily as the movie progressed(like most war movie bad guys). the parts where they were fighting well were pretty good: japs popping out of the brush a few feet from some marines and jabbing them, actual attempts to flank, and use of grenades etc. towards the end though there was some silly stuff done by the japanese: the "attack a soldier from behind but scream the whole time so he hears you and turns around and kills you" type of thing. overall i liked the movie.

i once managed to hold on till nov(comp exp at default, dfficulty at max). i stripped the brits of an army and built more airfleets. i had the low countries surviving army defend paris. i moved as many fleets as possible into the channel to bombard any germans on the coast of france. any tips to holding it longer?

1) I remember BFC once posting a way to get the scenario briefing into a text file. anyone know how to do it? 2) i COULD search for BTS posts but their usual member number (42) is gone. what happened? it says unregistered now. [ June 28, 2002, 11:22 PM: Message edited by: russellmz ]
